If you do not extend the Active Directory schema for Configuration Manager, or you do not enable publishing site data to Active Directory Domain Services, your site's clients will not be able to query Active Directory Domain Services for the services these servers provide. The default management point computer will register automatically in Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) if it is available, but you must manually register the server locator point and any management points operating in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster in WINS.

Note

Management points are automatically registered in WINS with the entry MP_sitecode and 1A as the ending character. One server locator point can be registered as SMS_SLP with 1A as the ending character. Registering more than one server locator point requires extending the Active Directory schema.

Adding Server Locator Point Information to WINS

To manually add the server locator point entry to WINS
